Just installed Firemacs -- it works great. Also, I use an add-on
called "It's All Text" that allows you launch external editors to edit
text fields on web pages.

Can Emacs talk to a Domino server? (We use Lotus Notes for mail.) I
didn't think it could do that.

Yes, I used to use LaTeX for this reason. But unfortunately I find I
still need to use an MS Word compatible word processor quite often.
On Windows, VBacs does a great job of making MS Word behave like Emacs
